Karaen felt that Foros was a boring person, so he stopped chatting and walked faster.
Everyone quickly arrived at the bottom of the tower.
Foros and the Wailers were stunned when they came in.
There is a blood pool here, and a group of Space Marines are locked at the neck and limbs by metal chains like tank tracks.
When they saw living people coming in, they struggled like crazy, showing their bloody teeth to Foros and Karaen, eager to eat their flesh and blood.
The people of the parent regiment were accustomed to this. They were not surprised or afraid, and calmly walked towards their former battle brothers, and then began to move them.
As the Lamenter moved to help, Karan said to Foros: "Scenes like this don't happen often in your Chapter, do they?"
Foros nodded.
The Lamenters Chapter is also the Children of Angels, but it is indeed different from other Chapters. Of course, they have never seen so many people trapped in black rage and blood thirst.
"Have you never experienced blood thirst at all?" Karan asked again.
When hearing this question, all the soldiers of the Blood Angel Company stopped what they were doing and turned to look at the Lamenters.
"I have." Foros said frankly.
Everyone in the company of Lamenters nodded.
However, Foros didn't say much. He obviously didn't want to mention the brother who fell into black rage.
"What a luxury." Karan suddenly sighed, "You can choose not to mention Black Rage and Blood Thirst in our group."
Karan's sentiments are also those of many people in the Blood Angels Mother Order.
It was heard by Foros more than once.
The characteristic of the Lamenters Chapter is that there are very few occurrences of Black Rage and Blood Thirst. Some outsiders even believe that there will be no Blood Thirst or Black Rage in this group at all.
The Lamenters themselves know that these flaws are not eliminated, but only rarely occur.
"If you hadn't beaten me up in the previous battle, I would probably have been one of them here," Karan added.
In the previous battle to decapitate the leader of the swarm in an attempt to regain the outer area, Karan had almost fallen into blood thirst.
Foros dodged the sword that struck him, pushed Karaon to the ground with his backhand, and beat him on the head.
The effect is remarkable.
"We are not friendly to blood slaves, that is, those mortals, at least I am not friendly to them." Karan continued to talk about blood thirst and black rage, "Actually, there are some rumors in the place where we are stationed, saying that we drink The blood of local people, actually if you think about it carefully, this is not groundless.”
"Ever since some bad experiences, I've avoided too much contact with mortals."
"I'm afraid that I or the people around me will go crazy at some point..."
Karaen did not continue, but Fros could guess that what he had experienced must be related to blood thirst.
During the conversation, the irredeemable children of the angels were taken away and put into transport planes equipped with iron cages.
Some of these people may be the seniors, saviors, and mentors of certain soldiers in the first company... No one wants to be too ruthless to them, but they just have to put these people into the iron cage, otherwise they will go crazy. kill.
"The Holy Blood Priest came to me before, hoping that I could convince you." Karan said, "Let a person from your Chapter be studied and find out why you are not prone to black rage and blood thirst."
Foros knew that this was the reason why Karan had to bring him with him.
However, as the leader of the chapter, it is impossible for Foros to send his brother out because of his relationship with the parent group.
The word "research" is an understatement, but research involving genes cannot be just a scan.
"Of course." Foros promised Karan, "But please tell the Holy Blood Priest that my pharmacist and I must be present when he conducts research."
"Of course." Karan nodded.
Foros also nodded, thinking to himself that the people in the parent group probably couldn't research anything.
It's not that he deliberately concealed it, it's just that it's really impossible to research anything useful.
After becoming Chapter Master, Foros collected some information about the formation of the Chapter.
Since the relevant information about the serious consequences of the army's establishment was deliberately concealed, Foros did not obtain particularly clear information.
Just know one thing.
The gene seeds used in the formation of the Lamenters Chapter were researched and improved by the Adeptus Mechanicus.
The Adeptus Mechanicus thought they had improved, but in fact they had not.
Most of the Chapters formed alongside the Lamenters betrayed the Imperium.
The Weeper's gene-seed may contain some benign mutations that the Adeptus Mechanicus themselves had not even thought of.
This is simply impossible to replicate.
After taking away all the prisoners in the tower, everyone boarded the transport plane and headed to the next location.
A fireball flew rapidly across the sky.
This bolide was flying horizontally, so it couldn't be a meteor, so it must be the guy with the whole body on fire.
Foros stared at the Burner's flight path and saw it flying all the way into the core area of the fortress, apparently looking for someone.
"What is it for?" asked Foros.
Karan shrugged, indicating that he didn't know.
Chapter 283 Hope
……
Fortress underground operating room.
The Burner stood in front of a pile of broken recruit training devices, looking down at the Holy Blood Priest named Kobro.
Standing next to Coblo was Bellona.
The reason why the Burner came here is because Bellona said that she wanted to ask a great and intelligent creature for help for something.
The Burner wasn't very interested in things like flattery, but considering that Bellona was the only one willing to take him to Tyrone, he still rushed over patiently.
Facing the Star God fragment, Cobulo made his request: "Have you done any research on biotechnology?"
"I'm not particularly good at this." Burner shook his head, "But let's talk about it, the knowledge I have is more than enough to deal with ants."
Cobulo did not continue immediately, but looked at Bellona.
The latter nodded.
It was Bellona who suggested that Coblo tell the angry guy about the gene seed. No matter what it was, it possessed science and technology that were beyond the reach of humans.
Cobulo was reluctant at first. He wanted to help his brothers get rid of their shortcomings through his own efforts...
But Bellona persuaded Cobulo with one sentence: You know how difficult blood thirst and black rage are to study, and this may be the only chance.
People in desperate situations just can't let go of the glimmer of hope they see.
"Look at these." Coblo showed what he wrote on the paper to Burner.
It only describes the problems of blood thirst and black rage faced by the descendants of angels, and does not involve information about gene seeds.
After reading this vague information, Burner asked: "Whatever biotechnology you are using, is it related to the subspace?"
Coblo thought for a moment, then nodded.
"Then what's the use of you looking for me!" The flames on the burner suddenly became strong, and some flammable objects in the operating room began to spontaneously ignite.
This is a rage that penetrates the viewer's soul, and those present cannot help but feel terrified.
But the Burner did not release the flames to burn the people in front of it, just like it did not burn to death Foros and the others. It thought about many things and then decided to calm down.
"The subspace is not as cold and ruthless as the real universe."
The Burner squeezed out some patience and gave it to the person in front of him.
"In the real universe, there is no cost to what you do, and there is no reason to have to balance it."
"You may not understand. To put it simply, in the real universe, the technology you master is advanced enough, and you can create perfect genetically enhanced warriors. As long as you are powerful enough, you can make them perfect."
"But if it involves subspace, there may be some costs. That's what I mean by balance."
After hearing what Burner said, Cobulo felt a little desperate.
I have made countless efforts to free my brothers from their flaws, and I am willing to pay any price, but in the end, it becomes meaningless just because it has something to do with subspace?
"I can't help it, but maybe others can. A small flaw is nothing. I've seen more powerful genetically modified warriors, the ones that directly use subspace energy. They seem to be quite close to perfection. Aren't you guys? It may become as close to perfection as possible." Burner continued.
"Thank you." Cobulo had another glimmer of hope.
"But having said that, there is no need for you to become more perfect. No matter how you strengthen your already short and fragile life, it will be like a candle in the wind. It means nothing from a macro perspective." Burner said, turning around and floating out of the operating room.
Cobulo stared at the Burner's back and secretly cursed the arrogant bastard.
……
The next day.
The attack of the insect swarms became fierce again, and the insect sea composed of more powerful insects than before was impacting the outer wall of the fortress.
The decapitation operation must be carried out immediately.
The combat team is the same as before, the first company of each battle group, Dante, Burner, and Iron Man.
Since it was not known whether beheading the Swarm Lord would repel the Zerg, most of the troops had to stay in the fortress to defend it.
Before the execution of the beheading, all combatants gathered in the monastery.
"I conducted a psychic reconnaissance of the combat location, and the number of bugs there tripled, but that's not a problem." Mephiston said to everyone.
"I will still personally participate in this battle." Dante said.
After hearing these words, a chapter leader raised his hand and asked, "How do we get through? The protective transport planes that leave the fortress's air defense positions may be easily shot down."
"Teleport over." Dante said, "The Lamenters have teleportation technology, which is more stable and accurate."
Foros nodded.
The teleportation protection device brought this time is not enough for everyone, but it doesn't matter, the technical sergeant has just figured out how to use the collective teleportation protection device.
"We teleport there, quickly complete the task, and return."
"If the situation changes during the teleportation, we will teleport back again."
